Transmuting Obstacles into Opportunities via Lyrical Sorcery & ELAmental's 1st EVER Artist NFT
(Edited)
My new LP album Power of Truth was set to release on December 17th, and according to the official charts it still is (depicted below). Many of you have been contacting me with inquiries about the delay, so I wanted to issue this statement about the circumstances surrounding the release:
"Trust me when I say there was NO ONE more frustrated by the release delay more than I. The situation is out of my hands, and in the hands of a very hard to get a hold of publishing/distribution company. I hypothesize the delay is being caused by an outdated que, or glitch in the copyright review/allocation system. I hope the issue is resolved sooner rather than later as we approach the winter holidays."
This delay has thrown multiple wrenches into my release promotion timeline engine, and releasing an album in any of the days surrounding Christmas and New Year's Eve is never a great idea, as people are more distracted during this time (significantly less immediate exposure). This is also why I have not published any posts on Hive recently, in anticipation of the copyright approval and official release on major streaming platforms at any moment since the 17th. I was also planning on running a sale for my physical album copies for Sagittarius season (the rest of December) to honor my sun-sign. It was certainly a little more than frustrating to have a company that specializes in publishing and distributing artist's music (Ditto Music) be so inattentive towards a project I have poured my heart and soul into for the past 3 years. After some wismatic dialogue with a friend however, I was reminded to use my majik.
Cryptic Calligraphy & Lyrical Sorcery
@dynamichivers called me earlier today at the height of my frustrations and calmed me down, reminding me how blessed of a path I am on, and that no small delay is going to hold back the full might of the Power of Truth, or anything else I am currently manifesting.
I sat with many of the suggestions he offered and we ultimately came up with a unique approach to a NFT idea. He suggested I photograph a page of written lyrics from one of my songs and mint that into an NFT on Showroom. I took it one step further and decided on making it into a series/collection that I will likely be calling "Lyrical Sorcery".
When I happen to write lyrics in a notebook, I tend to write in a sort of esoteric/cryptic font style that is likely a little hard to read for some folks, which is part of the allure in the uniqueness and raw nature of this idea - perfect for my style of Hip Hop.
I wrote these lyrics early this morning to transmute not only my feelings of frustration surrounding the album release delay, but also the powerlessness I have been feeling in a certain aspect of my personal life - being reminded that my power is not limited to one currently lacking spectrum is indeed empowering.
ELAmental's 1st Ever NFT
My first set of NFTs are going to be minted in my Alpha collection, and this being my first NFT I have ever personally minted, it will be the ONLY Lyrical Sorcery NFT ever printed in Alpha (all subsequents in their own collection). This NFT is one-of-a-kind, and a piece of ELAmental-music history. I do not know how many single edition NFTs I will actually mint in the long run, most will have multiple copies (if not many).
Considering the nature and rarity of this debut ELAmental NFT, those involved in inspiring it, and the story and majik behind it, I have decided to list this NFT for an initial sale price of 111 SAWP:HIVE on NFT Showroom with this intention in mind... Anyone is free to purchase this NFT on the market, but if @dynamichivers / @dynamicgreentk decides to buy it first, I will send him the 111 SWAP:HIVE right back to him as a thank you for all his support and inspiration over the years, and now. If he does not want it, it will remain listed at that price until someone does, but if he does, anyone else is going to have a VERY short initial window to buy the NFT at that price. I would imaging that if DH were to list it for sale at any point, it would be at a higher value.
Free NFT with Purchase of Physical Albums
Upon my album release, anyone who buys any of my initial 500 physical album copies and is willing to retrieve it, will also receive a FREE high quality graphics ELAmental NFT (MP4 - not out yet), so do not worry if you miss out on this first one, and there will also be others of this type minted in limited quantities soon as well. More info on all this coming in my official album release post soon.
The Point
I took a perceived negative situation and turned it into something positive, because in a situation of discontent, there is no better option for action. Transmutation is a powerful sorcery! Learn to turn obstacles into opportunities. Everything will manifest as it should in it's own due time, so do not miss what else could be in moments of frustrating limbo - you do not have to wait to cast new spells in this realm, so take a few deep breaths and listen for what is still waiting for you. "Remember that roadblocks cannot hinder your ability and skills unless you allow them. Be the Stronger Spell Caster and reverse those curses."
This publication also doubles as additional common law copyright documentation (in addition to the NFT itself) for the lyrics held on the notebook within the attached image to the described and linked NFT in this article - Full ownership of all written and lyrical content therein is owned by artist: ELAmental, and Hive account @ELAmental.
Bless the Method

So I have been thinking about it. In last post I made and in community I made public commitment to use power downs this week for @imdarrenclaxton music nfts and to get more neoxag to further curate posts with staked neoxag. I am making public commitment to buy this NFT next week with power downs. I do not want money back so if this is still available next week I will get. I really want more than ever and might get one week loan from @neoxian, Maybe he will accept @dynamicsteemians and dynamichivers account keys just to be sure I can get this! It means the world to me bro but also so does my word, tho no one asked me to make previous commitments. If you want to take off market and willing to wait one week I will buy FOR SURE! You have my word!
Brotha - I appreciate the support now, before, and forever. I don't think that NFT is going anywhere anytime soon unless you grab it. If you buy it, I will return the 111 Hive to you as stated, but if you want to tip some back to me after that, you are free to do so, and I would keep any tip you sent back. Bless the method.
Thers no givesies backsies in baseball!
Who's playing baseball? haha
Sent the 111 Hive back as promised!!
Man I love you bro. It is people like you that gives me strength to keep pushing forward. My eyes are watering with joy and inspiration. I appreciate you so much. I can not get over this post and nft
I just kept building and pushing forward in times of great despair and hardship these past 3 years, and has especially intensified in the past 2 months, and even more so the past 2 weeks. My football coach in high school taught me that unless you are actually physically injured... "play through the pain". Everyone is about to see/hear the results of living this philosophy, which I hope will serve as an even greater inspiration to those that were tossed and lost in the gutter like I was. There is nothing like coming out of a long darkness with a brick of gold to share that you crafted in the shadows.
This! Huh which position did you play? I played full back and linebacker but ended up playing DE by senior year and had best year ever. blocked field goals, fumbles, sacks... oh man those were the days!
Gotta be tough to hang with the big dogs! no wonder you are such a winner!
I played center and nose-guard in middle school, and linebacker and tight end in high school. Helped bring our team to our first two playoff appearances in our school's history, our first two regional championships, and dang near won states twice in those two years in top AAA VA football (only barely beaten by the eventual state champs in the semis)... it was quite competitive. I also ran track and wrestled in middle school, swam on swim teams every summer in middle and high (and ever since I was a kid), and made Eagle Scout by the time I was a sophomore with a bronze palm (and unawarded silver palm). A scout from our troop was awarded the medal of honor for saving his entire family from a burning building. A group of us almost won a metal of heroism for saving a farm from a brush fire that started in a big cornfield by the C&O canal during a patrol campout I organized (that sounds much easier than it actually was - 14 year old's choking on smoke the whole time, pretty much blinded, beating out an entire field fire with nothing more than cloths and what little water we had at the campsite which had to be carried out a long distance). No one else was around to stop that fire, including the farmers.
